I’ve recently discovered that my husband has been carrying on an affair and has fathered a child outside our marriage. I’m angry and heartbroken. I overreacted and kicked him out and now he’s questioning whether he should make our marriage work or be with the other woman. We have a 3 year old together and I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant. A part of me wants to just move on but this man is my husband and we took vows. I’m just so torn but of course I still love him and I miss him. We have infidelity issues in the past and I’m starting to feel that maybe our marriage to him has been a rouse this whole time. I’m just looking for some advice/help.

I’m so sorry to hear you have this issue, and while pregnant. You have a lot to think about as to how to handle it. I just want to point out though, you DID NOT overreact.

I am so sorry you are in this difficult situation. But having been cheated on repeatedly, I can tell yu that people who cheat, cheat. They like it. It's fun for them. The deception is a big, fun game to them.

As hard as it is for you with this pregnancy and all, I think you are in for a whole lot more heartbreak if you staty with this person. Eventually, he wil find an excuse to do it agan and you will be right back where you are now. Move on with your life. I am alone now, but I am better off without her. She's a cheater. It's her identity. You are way better off alone.

I am so sorry you are in such a painful situation with your husband. If it were me and my husband was debating between me and another woman, I would leave him, no question. I wouldn't want to be anyone's debate. I would want to be my husband's #1 choice. And yes, as stated above, people who cheat will continue to cheat. It's in their nature. It's that much more difficult when you are currently pregnant, but try to think things through with a logical mind, not an emotional mind. It helps to use your logic vs. your emotions, especially when you feel you still love someone. He will only hurt you that much more if you stay with him. He's not worth it. Let him go.

Since your husband cannot stop creating children, I suggest you consult a lawyer to work out the details of financial support and visitation. Your husband clearly has a different idea of marriage than you; for the sake of your children and you, it is time to put aside the fiction he knows how to be a faithful husband and to start building a stable life for yourself and your children. By the way, you didn't "overreact" -- your cheating husband will use any excuse to justify his behavior; that is what cheaters do. It might help you to know that for some people 'marriage' is nothing more than a way for them to live exactly the way they -- individually -- want to live -- irrespective of their spouse. In other words: they have the benefit of being able to claim they are married without feeling any need (or desire) to act in a way that is consistent with being married.
